The 2008 vintage in Central Otago didn’t yield the power or concentration of 2007, and this wine’s performance reflects that. It’s a slender, off-dry wine, with pineapple and pear fruit and a hint of coffee on the finish. ——J.C.(6/1/2010)—— 86

This medium-weight wine carries its ample alcohol well, hidden in a rush of jasmine, honey and baked apple and pear aromas and flavors. A slightly bitter or metallic note on the finish is the only thing holding it back.——J.C.(8/1/2004)—— 85
